EDITORS COMMENTS
This terracotta sculpture showcases a winged goddess from the Archaic Period of ancient Greece, around the 8th century BC. The goddess, believed to represent a divinity with the power to tame wild animals, is depicted here subduing two fierce lions. The introduction of these animals into Greece and Italy during this time was likely due to the influence of merchants and itinerant artisans. The intricately detailed statuette, now housed at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark, is a testament to the artistic achievements of the ancient Greeks. The goddess's serene expression contrasts starkly with the raw power of the lions at her feet, symbolizing the balance between the divine and the natural world. The Archaic Period marked a significant shift in Greek art, with a focus on realism and the representation of the human form. This sculpture, with its fluid lines and lifelike details, exemplifies the style of the time. The mythological significance of the goddess and her tamed lions speaks to the rich cultural history of ancient Greece and the enduring influence of its mythology and religion.
